Try this simple checklist.

1) Was a runner hindered or impeded in any way by a defensive player? If yes, then
2) Did the defensive player have possession of the ball? If no, then
3) Was the defensive player in the act of fielding a batted ball? In no, then
4) (NCAA ONLY) Did the ball arrive before the runner (about to receive)? If no, then
5) Did the runner do something specific and obvious that interferes with the fielder? If no, then

THIS IS OBSTRUCTION!!!
